On the north side of Shenmi Island, on the fortune boat of Dengzhou Water Camp, Lu Zhi kept raising the telescope in front of him, looking at the island anxiously, they saw a group of Houjin soldiers rushing to the west at the beginning, and disappeared on the ridgeline after a formation on a hill, and then the cannon sound was endless, and a thin smoke of gunpowder rose on the other side of the mountain, and then after a while, the cannon sound also disappeared, he knew that the artillery must be from the Wendeng battalion, and the cannon stopped but it didn't mean anything, and it would stop if you won or lost.

Although Lu Zhi had read the book of war and had also commanded the Nine Gates, it was the first time to really fight, and it involved his own military exploits, so he was naturally very nervous, and Zhang Tao beside him was not much worse, but his mood was more complicated, he was worried about the victory of the Houjin soldiers, and he didn't want the Wendeng camp to be too dazzling and steal his limelight.

"Come closer, let the boat come closer!" Lu Zhi turned his head to the general manager of the water camp and urged loudly, Zhang Tao opened his mouth to persuade: "The body of an adult is ten thousand gold, don't take it lightly......

Lu Zhi, who was still admiring Zhang Tao just now, waved his hand impatiently and interrupted, his eyes were on the telescope to see intently, and the surrounding sailors also made a buzzing sound, while pointing to the south, Zhang Tao quickly turned his head to look at the shore, and some small figures appeared on a ridge in the distance, and then more and more, none of them had flags, Lu Zhi couldn't see clearly with the telescope for a while, but urged the water camp to keep close to the coast.

"Hahaha!" Lu Zhi suddenly laughed loudly, a pure red flag appeared in his telescope, the person holding the flag was fleeing with the one in front, and a group of red figures appeared on the mountain, sending out a volley of muskets at the top of the slope, "That flag is a red flag." Jiannu is defeated! Jiannu is defeated! Wendeng Camp is worthy of its name, it is really the strongest army of my Ming Dynasty! ”

Lu Zhi waved the telescope excitedly, and walked back and forth quickly on the bow of the boat, of course, he still didn't dare to go ashore at this time, Zhang Tao's eyes rolled, and he bowed to Lu Zhi and said: "Lord Supervisor, the lower official is willing to lead the elite soldiers of Dongjiang Town ashore." Cooperate with Lord Chen to attack Jiannu, and call that Jiannu ......"

"Zhang guerrilla can't be like this, Dongjiang Town is good at water warfare. At this time, it is not appropriate to dock, in case the poor rats and cats are built, I am afraid that I will hurt a lot of soldiers. On the contrary, it is not beautiful, so it is not too late to let Counselor Chen clean up and then go ashore. Lu Zhi remained silent, Zhang Tao was clearly Sun Yuanhua's person, Lu Zhi was well-informed, Sun Yuanhua's current situation was clear to him, and he also had a little calculation of his own in his heart, hoping to have his own forces in Denglai and Dongjiang, Chen Xin was currently moving closer to him, and Wendeng Camp was strong. The chief officer is sensible, and naturally he is the best force.

Now Zhang Tao wants to go to the island to pick up heads and grab equipment, Chen Xin will definitely be dissatisfied at that time, when he attacked Luanzhou last year, the Wendeng battalion was the main attack. The attack was fierce, only had time to cut off the head, many of those armors and the like were robbed by the Qinwang army who entered the city later, Chen Xin later went to Liang Tingdong to complain, and finally Ma Shilong came forward to persuade him, and Chen Xin stopped. The claim was for Ma Shilong's sake, so that Ma Shilong owed him a favor.

Before Zhang Tao officially surrendered, Lu Zhi would not give him the opportunity to pick up the cheap, this time the battle of Shenmi Island, victory was inevitable, and Lu Zhi began to think about how to write a victory document for the emperor.

At this time, the soldiers in Wangdou reported loudly, saying that there were several boats from the Wendeng camp coming, Lu Zhi walked to the side of the ship, saw Chen Xin standing on the bow of the boat opposite, and hurriedly ordered someone to pick up Chen Xin.

Under Zhang Tao's envious and jealous gaze, Chen Xin knelt on the ground with a puff when he got on the boat, and said loudly to Lu Zhi: "Report to the supervising army, Lai Emperor Hongfu is blessed, your lord is strategizing, Wendeng Battalion defeated the island Jiannu in a battle, beheaded hundreds, and is now in pursuit, when the soldiers clean up the north shore, the lower official dares to ask the lord to land on the island to command the pursuit of the remnants of the enemy." ”

"Good, good!" Lu Zhi smiled and narrowed his eyes, lifted Chen Xin's arm with both hands to make him stand up, looked up and down, and found that Chen Xin's body was full of bloodstains, and the chain mail was broken in two places, and he couldn't help but say worriedly: "General Chen is injured again?" ”

Chen Xin replied in a gloomy voice in a low voice: "My lord, Jiannu is a poor rat devouring cat, my big array has been broken through, and the lower official has to go into battle in person to repel the white armor led by the white flag Gushan Ezhen, and there are many knives on his body, but fortunately, they have not hurt the vital point, so the lower official said that this battle is all thanks to the blessing of the emperor and the lord of the prison army. ”

Lu Zhi took all the sycophants as he pleaded, and sighed: "Urging the front to be Zhengrui, Fang shows the true character of the hero, but General Chen is the pillar of my emperor, and when he goes into battle in the future, he should also take care of his own safety, even if the solid mountain of Jiannu is true, it is not as important as the safety of General Chen." ”

"Adults raise love, the last general is unforgettable, the solid mountain of Jiannu has really escaped from the battlefield, and the soldiers are being pursued."

Lu Zhi is actually most concerned about that Gushan Ezhen, after all, the Ming army has never captured and killed such a high-end Houjin general, and it is inconvenient to ask at this time, and then he cares about the situation of the Wendeng camp, Chen Xin's voice is low, "The generals led by the last general have suffered heavy injuries, the casualties have been hundreds, the corpses on the battlefield are all over the field, and they have not been calculated for a while, most of them are Wendeng military households and homeless people, and there are still old and young in the family, and now they are dying on the battlefield for the country, but the lower officials have no spare strength to let their families have no worries about food and clothing, and their hearts are ...... Shame. ”

Chen Xin choked up as he spoke, he has seen a lot of suffering now, it is not easy to hold back tears, with his acting skills, he can only go like this, Lu Zhi has a great achievement, and he took Chen Xin's hand and said obligedly: "General Chen, although rest assured, the Wendeng camp is my strong army, and the army is full of loyal and brave people who are dedicated to the country. ”

"The lower officials thanked the adults on behalf of those military households." Chen Xin couldn't hold back the disgust of his hand being caught by the eunuch, and looked grateful.

"General Chen has other difficulties, and he said that he knows about it with his own officer."

"My lord, my subordinates don't have much food to bring, and there are heavy casualties in this battle, so I need to rest on this island for some time, so I want to ask Dongjiang Town to replenish some grain and grass, or I can buy it with silver at the end." Moreover, the soldiers led by the lower officer this time are the elite selected from the whole battalion, and after this battle, the vitality is greatly damaged, and I am only afraid that I will not be able to dispatch this year, this is not the timidity or shirk of the last general, but it is really Qi Shaobao's training method that takes a long time. ”

Lu Zhi listened and said nonchalantly: "General Chen doesn't need to worry about the matter of grain and grass, as for the dispatch, our family will explain this matter to the emperor in the good news." Jiannu suffered such a heavy blow, forgive them and don't have the courage to offend me again this year. ”……

A flag team of Wendeng Battalion appeared on the northern coast, and the Dengzhou Navy Division sent several fishing boats to approach, and learned that most of the scattered Jiannu had been annihilated, so Lu Zhicai got on the foot boat and took Chen Xin to the island together, accompanied by some generals of Dongjiang Town.

Just landed on the island. Chen Xin called two nearby killer teams to escort Lu Zhi on both sides, and the group crossed the rocks on the shore. Come to a hill on the north shore.

Not far away is a large plain, and to the south are the green mountains, at the foot of which are many ships that are nearing completion. The corpses of Jiannu were scattered in the middle of the plain, and to the northeast was a group of prisoners crouched in dense numbers, surrounded by some soldiers of the Wendeng battalion in red uniforms. A few distant hills erupted with scattered gunfire.

Lu Zhi eagerly walked over to check the prisoners, the prisoners were divided into three groups, one group was Koreans, there were more than 500 on the island, when the Dengzhou Naval Division shelled, most of them ran away, at this time nearly 300 people were rushed here by the Wendeng battalion soldiers, and there were constantly follow-up escorts. The second group is Houjin's Baoyi, who have less than a hundred people on the island, and about thirty people have been caught here.

Finally, there were the remnants of the Houjin and the armor soldiers, guarded by several battle groups, and the remnants of the Houjin soldiers were exhausted by the time they escaped from the battlefield. After the first period of desperate escape, most of them were overwhelmed, and most of them were killed and wounded by the Ming army musketeers in light armor in the pursuit, and those who surrendered were all held here, about a hundred people.

Jiannu, who has always been arrogant in front of the Han people, hangs his head in the eyes of the soldiers around him. Dumbfounded, they sat down on the ground with their heads bowed, their helmets and armor all taken off, and the armor was piled up in another place, and the clothes were used to bind their hands and feet, revealing the top of their heads. Lu Zhi went up and picked up a braid, and shook it twice in his hand, which was quite interesting, and the Yu Ding showed a frightened look, and did not dare to move at all.

A group of Dongjiang Town generals who followed the island were very greedy for the Jiannu heads all over the ground, but the Wendeng camp was next to it, and the soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield were still murderous, always with a kind of ferocity, which made them dare not think about it.

The flag of the Chinese army in the Wendeng camp had already come to the flat ground, Liu Pojun greeted him, first handed a flag to Chen Xin, and then knelt down to Lu Zhi and Chen Xin and said loudly: "I have seen the prison army." ”

As soon as Lu Zhi saw the flag, he shook it out excitedly, it was the Gushan Ezhen Banner of the White Flag, Lu Zhi couldn't help laughing, and the surrounding Shang Keyi and other Dongjiang Town generals were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Wendeng Ying to be able to win this flag, which had never been seen since the rise of Jiannu, and their eyes at Chen Xin were very different.

Lu Zhi smiled and let Liu Pojun get up, and then asked, "Did you really catch Gushan?" ”

Liu Pojun replied cautiously: "Not yet, I don't know if I have fled to the south, the mountains here are high and dense, and the sky is getting dark now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find ...... for a while."

Hearing Liu Pojun say that it was difficult, Lu Zhi's face showed displeasure, if it wasn't for Chen Xin's face, he would have scolded this little officer, Chen Xin hurriedly interrupted Liu Pojun, and ordered with a pleasant face: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to catch it, inform Lu Chuanzong to continue the search, Jiannu has lost all the baggage and food, we are tired, Jiannu is even more tired, we must be caught." ”

After saying to Liu Pojun, Chen Xin turned his head to Lu Zhifu and smiled: "Lord Jianjun, those Jiannu are all born in the mountains and forests, and they have a lot of strength, but they have no boat or food, and they must be unable to continue, even if it is difficult to capture them in a hurry, they will find ways to catch them in a day or two at most." ”

Lu Zhi's face softened slightly, Chen Xin said this, he could accept it, and when he walked all the way to the main battlefield, Chen Xin whispered to Liu Pojun: "It's getting dark, camp on this flat land at night, give priority to the placement of the wounded soldiers, and then the head and armor, and deploy the defense as much as possible after you finish it." After the arrangement, he chased to Lu Zhi's side and held Lu Zhi's arm diligently.

Along the way, the corpses of the Houjin army were endless, some sailors were harvesting heads, when they climbed to the top of the slope where the fierce battle had just begun, they couldn't help but be stunned, the long gentle slope was full of dense headless corpses, broken blades and stumps, many sailors of the Wendeng battalion walked around the battlefield, transporting batches of heads and armor to the foot boats on the seaside, and some were transporting the wounded soldiers on stretchers.

The further down the slope they went, the denser the corpses became, and finally they reached the place where the battle began to be most intense, where layers of corpses, weapons, and flags were stacked on top of each other, surrounded by bows and arrows, and the ground on the ground turned into a dark black with a slight reddish color after absorbing a large amount of blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

More than ten steps away from here, there are rows of neatly placed corpses of the Ming army, behind them are hundreds of wounded of all kinds, white-clothed ambulances are busy, and some seriously injured people scream from time to time.

Lu Zhi stared at the scene in front of him for a long time, the generals of Dongjiang Town kept sighing, they had been fighting with Jiannu for a long time, and there was no shortage of people in the Dongjiang army who dared to die, but they had never seen such a fierce battlefield, they already knew that the Wendeng camp was only in their early thousands, and they really couldn't imagine that the two sides could kill and wound so many in the fight.

After a long while, Lu Zhi finally sighed: "General Chen's training Wendeng camp is really the strongest army in the world. ”

Chen Xin was really sad at this time, he saw a slender man who followed him first in the corpse of the Ming army in front of him, he was the company commander of the peasant soldiers, a strong and responsible person, Chen Xin also went to congratulate him in person when he got married at the end of last year. The company commander's neck had been almost severed by a broadsword, leaving only a small part of the flesh still attached, and a pale sailor was about to straighten his head, but he could not help but feel nauseous, and ran to the side and vomited.

The sun in the distance was slowly setting, the sunlight was no longer dazzling, it turned into a warm dusk, gently sprinkled on the row of corpses, Chen Xin replied with a little distraction: "It's still the adults who command properly, if it weren't for the adults' plan to capture and indulge, how could they win this big victory." ”

Lu Zhi nodded and was about to speak, when there was a sudden burst of cheers on the other side of the mountain, and it became louder and louder, everyone looked at each other, and after a while, a personal soldier appeared on the top of the slope, he even ran over with a rolling belt, and he didn't even salute the military salute, and shouted loudly from afar: "Caught it, caught that solid mountain!" ”

Lu Zhi couldn't wait to ask, "Where is it, take our family to see it quickly." After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he faced the past, grabbed the personal soldier regardless of his identity, and almost dragged the soldier back.

Chen Xin followed a few steps, suddenly stopped and looked back at the row of corpses, walked quickly to the corpse of the peasant company commander, squatted down and glanced at the familiar face, his expression was a little hideous, the skin on his face was already loose, his eyelids were half-open, revealing some white eyes. Chen Xin gently closed his eyelids, then carefully straightened his head with his hands, and then ripped off the hem of his clothes to cover the neck wound.

After doing this, Chen Xinli saluted the row of corpses, and then turned around and strode after Lu Zhi.
